With an eye toward redistricting in 2022, a national Republican group is planning a seven-figure ad campaign in Ohio to help the GOP maintain its control of the Ohio Supreme Court.
COLUMBUS, Ohio –
The ads represent the first major spending from outside groups in this year’s Supreme Court races. The court is up for grabs, with Republicans currently holding a narrow 4-3 majority, although O’Connor has been a swing vote who has voted with Democrats on redistricting and some other high-profile cases.
“National liberals like Eric Holder are determined to stack courts across the country with their radical liberal allies who will draw them favorable congressional maps from the bench, and it’s time for Republicans to fight back like never before,” Duncan said. “Ohioans have an opportunity this year to reject the extremism of Republicans on the bench and put the court back in the hands of judges like Jennifer Brunner, Terri Jamison and Marilyn Zayas who believe in the rule of law. For too long, we’ve seen the GOP-led court use the bench to play politics, and it’s time to restore integrity and justice back to the Supreme Court,” Keyes said.
